So 2 of the last 3 weeks I started with the front 8 in the second game at league. They were very similar.
XXXXXXXX72XX9
XXXXXXXX72X9/ Love me some 6 7 10 splits!!
Things are going well this summer it would be nice to finally throw a strike in the 9th haha, but maybe thats too much to ask. =)

I had that same block for a long time. First it was 7, then 8, then 9, then 10. When I shot my 300 I wasn't so concerned about the 12th ball as I was that 11th. I knew that if I didn't blow that 11th ball (for the 5th time), I knew I was golden, and I was.

The only thing I did different during my 300 than previous times was to not think about it being the 10th frame of a 300, but just make it like it was the 1st frame over and over. I didn't focus on making a "good shot", just to revert back to the fundamentals of hitting my target and keeping a fluid armswing.
